From the Director
Happy last week of July! Fellowship applications are in and I have heard of a few interviews already scheduled! Upcoming in August, pay attention to what your ITE date is (JARs, all combined program residents and SARs who elected to take the ITE), and also to the many res-i-teering opportunities available! It’s a bit warm out to start your Stead Tread training but you can reach out to Dan Bernstein to get involved in planning it!
Check out the crew res-i-teering this past weekend!!

Ambulatory Clinic Corner by: Dr. Dani Zipkin
July 25, 2022
Ambulatory Threads 2022-2023
The Ambulatory Threads started in 2018, bundling clinical sub-specialties in templates during ambulatory blocks and switching mid-year such that, by the end of JAR year, residents have experienced every sub-specialty of medicine in the ambulatory setting. We are grateful to all the faculty in the department who open their doors to our residents! We are also tremendously grateful to the Ambulatory Chief Residents who have made this effort possible over the years: Dinushika Mohottige, Winn Seay, Caroline Sloan, Hannah Dzimitrowicz, Nancy Yang, and Nathaniel Harris! The chiefs design the templates, make sure your clinical experiences work well, piece together experiences even during the pandemic, and re-design templates when opportunities change. Finally, the gold medal for complex schedule management and critical thinking goes to Emily Sikes, whose skills are the cornerstone of this effort. Thank you, Emily!
Morning Report
The morning report series is off to a great start! This 12-month GIM curriculum is designed primarily for interns and any JAR or SAR needing to catch a session they missed or want to see again. Please note, while an 8:30 am start is generally acceptable in the clinics you go to after report, some sub-specialty clinics will expect an 8am start so you can be present for their huddle or prep for the morning. Please check in with your sub-specialty faculty to determine the best arrival time and listen to morning report while in transit if necessary. ALL continuity clinics will start at 8:30 am for interns – we are making this correction at the DOC. Thanks for your patience.
Primary Care Concentration at Duke
Interns – please send Dani Zipkin a note if primary care or general medicine is a thing you’re interested in! It’s ok if you haven’t decided yet. That’s what we’re here to help with! We can tailor your schedule (particularly in the JAR and SAR years) to get you the experiences you need.
Our Wellbeing
The Department of Medicine is keeping an updated list of wellbeing resources during this extraordinary time. Click here for more information.
